Why Cam Newton fits better with Patriots than current Panthers
While it feels like the Panthers got shortchanged with Newton agreeing to a prove-it deal with the Patriots, Carolina made the right move.
ESPN Daily: How Cam Newton Can Improve The Patriots
Former Panthers QB Cam Newton is signing with the New England Patriots. Yes, you continue to read that correctly.

But now that Newton is en route to Foxborough, many factors point to this being a match made in football heaven. Bill Barnwell discusses Cam's strengths as a QB and what he'll bring to the Patriots' existing squad.

But Christian will get his touches.''
